"Absolutely stunning film. I can’t believe this was not nominated for best international feature!?!? I’ve loved every Park Cha-wook movie I’ve seen, but this is undoubtedly my favorite. That’s saying a lot. Truly innovative cinematography and editing. This movie is the perfect example of what makes cinema unique as an art form. The way it is filmed and edited pushes the boundaries of what is possible. The way it allows the director to mess with time and location. The way it can visually display characters’ subjective experiences. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!"

"Interesting and unusual perspective in a foreign language film from Korea. A murder mystery where the investigator is complicit and country politics intervene."

"Such an incredibly well made film, with such a strong ending! Phenomenal direction (especially the use of perspective shots) paired with stellar cinematography, acting (especially by both Tang Wei and Park Hae-il), editing, and balancing of tones. Park Chan-wook deserves to be in the conversation for Best Director at the Oscars IMO."

"Can’t wait for this to be added to the criterion collection "

"Murder mystery, psychological thriller, romance, and more, all packed into one film. Incredible."

"The story has a fascinating development, with some twists and turns that give the plot greater complexity, making it all the more special."

"Slow burn with a rewarding ending. Please avoid from spouling because I believe this is a movie that's best watched in the dark."

"Pretty solid, and the lead actress was fantastic. I wanted more detective work, but still enjoyed. "
